Wired for Speech: Voice Interactions with People and Computers

From the creator

August 7, 2008 presentation by Clifford Nass for the Stanford University Office of Science Outreach's Summer Science Lecture Series. In this lecture, Clifford Nass describes how the human brain and body are "wired" for speech: The sound of a voice, whether from a person or machine, causes us to respond as we respond to actual people and to behave as we could in any social situation. In addition, Nass will discuss the speech interactions between humans and machines. Clifford Nass is the Thomas M. Storke Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Sociology, and Director of the Communication between Humans and Interactive Media (CHIMe) Lab. The Stanford Summer Science Lecture Series is a set of informal lectures about cutting edge research from four of Stanford's most esteemed professors.
